Tennessee senior Mona McSharry broke the SEC Championship meet record and set a new Auburn pool record on Friday morning in heats of the 100 breast.

This morning, McSharry was out in 27.09, only .06 ahead of Fast, but her 3rd 25 was the quickest in the field by nearly half a second (14.74) and she finished with a 29.97 on the back half.
